Baby P Case
The Baby P Case refers to the tragic death of a 17-month-old boy named Peter Connelly in the United Kingdom in 2007. He was known as "Baby P" in the media to protect his identity. Peter suffered severe abuse and neglect while under the care of his mother, Tracey Connelly, and her boyfriend, Steven Barker, despite being on the radar of social services and law enforcement.
The case raised significant public outcry and led to widespread criticism of the child protection system. Following Peter's death, several officials, including social workers and police, faced scrutiny and were held accountable for their failures in protecting him. The case highlighted the need for reforms in child welfare practices.
